blueschica Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Big changes for the Penguins management! They have landed Ron Hextall as GM and Brian Burke as President of Operations! https://www.nhl.com/...TAv2bNVX4CFmLHY That's a big team to land! I have so many memories of Ron Hextall as a Flyer that I was wondering if I could get behind this at first . The story about playing with Manny Sanguillen and Rennie Stennett helped convince me (they are beloved Pittsburgh Pirates and I'm sure that's why the story was mentioned in the article, lol.) Go Pens! I heard Rutherford had resigned, this was unexpected. Then tonight my hubby saw this article...have you heard anything about this Blueschica? http://pittsburghhockeynow.com/pittsburgh-penguins-trade-marc-andre-fleury-dreger-sidney-crosby/I think it is crazy speculation... :huh: I agree, those Crosby stories sound like rumors of rumors! :P The 2 Pittsburgh papers are usually pretty quick to jump on Penguin rumors with any substance, and I havent seen anything there. I can see them trying to shop Evgeni Malkin to get pieces of a primo team together but Crosby is pretty much the franchise. Interesting to read, though! And yes, we all want Fleury back. :heart: Wish it could have happened somehow. Edited February 12, 2021 by blueschica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkrush Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hawks 3 Jackets 2 in OT. :) I didn't expect Lankinen to be in the nets tonight, but he bounced back with a good effort. Crazy overtime goal involving Kane and DeBrincat. Another highlight of the game...Konroyd doing the color instead of Olczyk. :P 7-5-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final score, 10-0 New York...I think a lot of games on the radio have some sort of delay, I get it also with our local sports radio when I listen the University of Utah football games, in their case they are ahead sometimes so I have to be careful if we are also watching the game on the tv so I don't spill the beans if we score. I often do that because I like our announcers better than the ESPN or Fox people. Our hockey broadcasts here seem to be behind most of the time, don't know why that is. So if you do listen who do you tune in to? 10-0 ouch that must have been hard to take. :facepalm: Edited February 16, 2021 by Rhyta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a question of a delay. You take Foley, he will interrupt himself in mid sentence when he sees the puck in the net. Wideman has to finish a full sentence even though the goal has already been scored. When I used a radio, I found myself listening for the people's reaction and the horn instead of his voice. A really bad experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
